So I suck. I haven't posted in a week and I haven't worked out in a week either. Opps. I found out on Monday that my dress was already in! It was so shocking! It wasn't supose to leave Florida until June 18th! But here it is!!! So I thought on Monday "Ok, I'll work out every day this week just in case it doesn't fit" But when I'm stressed I eat soo much and have no motivation to work out. And we're having a lot of money problems right now so I've been really worried. When I was told my dress came in for some reason I got so worried it woudln't fit I couldn't even work out!
Well my mom and I drove up to Loveland this morning and it fits!!! Oh man was that a relief! I can breath better without it on a little lol, but I know I'll have no problem. I think I have about 5 lbs to go and I'll be sooo happy. There was a little snag on the front of the beads and tulle but when I find a seemstress I'll ask if she can fix it. :-) It's not haning up on my door. God I'm happy. (I can't believe it's a USA size 6!)
Then I went to the mail box and found 2 RSVP's AND............... My FI's ring is here! I ordered it this last Wednesday I couldn't believe it got here so fast. And I just used the free shipping. It is Titanium so when he gets off work tonight he'll come over and try it on. If it fits I can send it back to get engraved. YAY!!!!! Such a great day. I can't seem to copy the picture of the ring, and the pictures above are from my little sister's camera and it's not a great camera. I'm also having a hard time taking a picture of his ring so here it is on the website. http://www.titaniumkay.com/2nd-Generation-Tungsten-Carbide-Two-Tone-Wedding-Band-Ring-w-Grooves-P103791.html
I'll do the shred again either tomorrow or Monday, depending on the day, and since I'm off Monday for the holiday it seems like a good time to re-start my workout routine! :-)
oh man ...I just let all the BM's know FI's ring is in. one said "Oh thats great! When will yours be in??" :-( FI doens't have any money to buy mine. What a buz kill.
I did it!!!!! I woke up this morning and did the video! I have a new work schedule (which I'm still trying to come to terms with) I used to work 8-6:30 Tuesday through Friday. I'd have to be up at 6am to leave by 7, since I work 36 miles from home. This is why all of my workouts had to be after work. I just couldn't bring my self to get up at 5am to do any sort of exercise besides breathing.
Well starting this week I'm working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10-6:30 and Wednesday 9-5:30. Some how I wasn't able to get up and work out the last two days but this morning (when I had to leave by 8am) I was able to get up and do it. I'm actually really proud of my self because I LOVE to sleep. When my alarm went off I just kept saying "get up, come one, lets go GET UP!!!!" lol
The work out was difficult. I have a hard time breathing when doing this level. I do have asthma which is both due to allergies, exercise and anything else that can agitate it. Just the shear fact that I'm doing cardio at all is fantastic. In School I was sooo miserable, that was before Advair (which I have a love-hate relationship with) and my asthma made me so sick and in gym I just wanted to crawl up in a ball and cry. When I started running a few years ago EVERY one was shocked, including me. I think I should keep in mind how far I have come since then, and not beat myself up when I can't do the workout just perfect, and without stopping for even a second. I'm getting better. I know I'm hard on myself.
I think the best advice I could give right now is that no matter how hard the video is KEEP MOVING! She says it a few times during the workout. And that I think is very important. Even when I think I'm about to die and I don't think I can do anymore, I keep going just not at such a huge impact. I don't stop, except for a couple seconds right before that jump and twist move. By that point I'm practically gasping for air.
As far as results. I don't see or feel any, in the sense of weight loss or inches lost. People around me say I look good, and that they can tell a difference but I really wonder if they're just saying it. I'll keep going, thats for sure.
I guess the real testament will be when my dress gets in.
We re-ordered a 6 (after the 10 fell off me) and at the body size I was then (2/14/09) they were going to need to take in the boobs and maybe let out the hips a tiny bit. My goal is for them to not have to let out ANY thing. I know there's nothing short of implants that I can do about the boobage lol. But my dress is already coming in 3 weeks before the wedding and I want them to have to do as little work as possible.
Ok, we had some rocky ground there for a little while about weather the dress shop would re order a dress for me. After a little drama and the best dress shop owner out there, Dana, said she would be more than happy to send back the dress and order the right size! I am so happy and so relieved. Buying my dress was the one thing in this whole wedding planning process that hadn't caused me any problems. And I'm happy to say that is still the case. Well...lol I guess, I'd rather everything ran a little more smoothly.
She did ask if I'd like to come back in this Saturday to try on the size I want to order in the same designer just to be 100% sure. ( they only have a size 10 in my dress) I'm fine with that. Although it is a long drive (over an hour) I'm happy to try a wedding dress on again. And honestly a little scared ha ha what if I like it too much? :-) They are going to rush deliver it but it won't be in until about May 12th. That is a little nerve racking. Getting the dress in two months before the wedding. Is anyone else getting their dress that close to the wedding? Well thanks for reading!
I serisouly can not wait to get married! Really I'm so excited to become a wife and have my best friend in the whole world become my Husband! Thats not really an update but thought I'd throw it in there haha.
The Dress
My dress is in! A few weeks a go my bridal shop called to tell me thery were staying in bussiness (BIG relief for all of us) and that my dress should be in February 13th! Thats over a months and a half earlier than they thought! So I planned on going with my mom on sister (also my maid of honor) Sat to try it on. I called Monday to make sure it was still scheduled to arrive this week. The lady put me on hold for 5 mins, came back asked how I spelled my name then said she had a customer and would have to call me back....talk about a mini freak out!!!
Well 45 mins later the owner called, she told me it had arrived that day and she just needed to take it out of the box and steam it!!!! I'm SO happy it's here! I can't wait to try it on. :-)
I'm trying it on the 14th. I love that I'll be wearing my wedding dress for the first time on Valentines day! Can we say Romantic?
The Cake
First cake tasting is scheduled for Monday the 16th at 9am. Is it just me or is that early for a ake tasting? lol oh well. We are meeting with Amy's Unique Cakes at a Starbucks. Then we have our second tasting with Kelley Kakes @ 6pm that same day also at a Starbucks lol. I like that we were able to do two in one day. FI and I only have Sundays and Mondays off together so this really helps. I'm still waiting to hear back from a third baker I e-mailed to set a tasting. I'm excited to do cake tastings. I've been looking forward to this since we got engaged lol!
